Clancy civil lawyer says postpartum patients pose ‘public danger’

Lindsay Clancy’s civil attorney Andrew Meyer raised concerns about how hospitals respond to serious postpartum mental health conditions following a court hearing.

Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse, Meyer argued that inadequate treatment and follow-up can create serious risks when women experience postpartum depression that develops into psychosis.

“I think there's a public danger when we don't have a proper response to women who have postpartum depression, ultimately psychosis,” Meyer said.

He criticized situations where patients receive medication without sufficient monitoring or communication between medical professionals.

“And when they're simply given medication to treat the problem and there's no follow up, they're treated over some type of, it was a Zoom-type of treatment. And there wasn't, it wasn't taken seriously. There were no, there was not adequate communication between the doctors.”

Meyer also said concerns about Clancy had been overlooked.

“The various people who were basically writing her off, telling her to go about her way and when in fact, she was a danger,” he added. “She was screaming for help for months and she wasn't getting it. And that's what leads to this kind of tragedy. It never should have happened. This entire matter could have been avoided. All the lives that have been tragically affected by these failures are going to be addressed.”
